Vol. XXX—No. 5 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota Friday, October 31,
Freeman Outlines 'Positive Program
To 'Build Minnesota's Future'
In response to an invitation from
the Bethel student body, Or-ville
Freeman, Democratic Farmer-
Labor party candidate for Minne-sota
governor, visited our campus
Monday noon. He presented to an
audience of over two hundred stu-dents
and faculty members, a re-sume
of the positive leadership
policies which are his intention to
put into practice. Following the
presentation of his hard hitting
program, the session was opened
to questions from the listeners,
which were ably answered by Mr.
Subjects discussed by Freeman
throughout the occasion were: posi-tive
government versus negative
government; the moral responsi-bility
of those in positions of lead-ership;
the threat of corporate pri-vate
interest and the place of gov-ernment
in the controlling of pri-vate
interest groups in order to
facilitate public welfare; the bene-fits
of positive government, such
as rural electrification, Federal

Reserve and Federal Housing; and
the relation of positive and nega-tive
government to prosperity and
depression. Mr. Freeman also
brought forth arguments concern-ing
the failure of the present state
administration to deal effectively
with problems of education, the
aged, rehabilitation, resource de-velopment
and industry encourage-ment
in the State of Minnesota.
He offered in propositional form
a program which would give ade-quate
consideration to these areas
of state life.
Dr. Walter H. Judd, representative from Minnesota's Fifth Congres•
sional District in Minneapolis, will address the student body and faculty
today at 12:00 noon in the Field house. Congressman Judd, Republican,
is now serving his fifth consecutive term as a member of Congress.
In 1925, under the Foreign mission Board of the Congregational
Church, Dr. Judd went as a medical missionary to south China to a
mission hospital near the coast of southern Fukien province. More
than 40 malaria attacks nearly killed him, and, in 1931 he was forced
to return to the United States. In 1934 he went back to China to head
a hospital.
The aggression of the Japanese and the foreign policy of the United
States compelled him to return to the U.S. in order to propagate his
belief that Americans should "boycott Japan now or give up their sons
later." He gave 1,400 speeches in 46 states in the months to follow.
Dr. Judd set up a temporary
medical practice in Minneapolis
in 1941 and was selected in 1942
to the 78th Congress.
He enlisted as a private in the
United States Army during World
War I and was discharged as a lieu-tenant
in the Field Artillery. In
1932 he received a fellowship in
surgery at the Mayo Clinic at
Rochester, Minnesota.
Having lived ten years in China
as a medical missionary, Dr. Judd
is one of the few members of
Congress who can speak with per-sonal
knowledge of what is now
happening in Asia and the Pacific.
He is a member of the American
Medical Association, the China
Society, and Phi Beta Kappa.
This speech is the closing event
sponsored by the Student Coun-cil's
Political Actions Committee.
Mr. Robert Sandin has been the
chairman.

What's at Stake In the Election?
(The following materials were developed from a class assignment
in American Government. The committee which finally brought together
this short summary was composed of Florence Pruessner, Donald Fuller,
and John Burton.)
The actual issues of the 1952 presidential campaign are largely
hidden. To the average American, they seem to be vague and unrecog-nizable
behind the showy front of political propaganda. One important
reason for this lack of clearness in the minds of the American public
as to what the issues of the campaign are is that on many important
questions, both parties have taken almost the same stand. Eisenhower
and Stevenson both vigorously campaign against corruption in govern-ment.
Republicans point to the existing corruption in the national
government under the Democrats while the Democrats make a display
of the corruption within the Republican-controlled areas of government.
Both candidates take a strong stand against Communism. Republicans
bring into the open the cases of Communist infiltration into the Demo-cratic-
controlled government and the Democrats point out the fact that,
after all, it is they who are wiping the Communists out of the Govern-ment.
Of course, since both parties stand nearly alike on important
matters, each has to resort to trying to run down the other party; at
least this seems to be the adopted philosophy. The Democrats dig up a
scandal about Nixon's financial matters; meanwhile, the Republicans
seek to scandalize Stevenson's monetary activity. Name-calling has be-come
the accepted and expected practice in the present campaign. To
some, the issues seem to have taken a back-seat with the campaign
centering on the candidates. This being the case, it would be fitting to
look into the personal qualifications and advantages of each of them.
Although the issues are obscure to some people, to others they
are vital factors in the outcome of the campaign. The two parties have
taken stands which they believe to be the right action for our country
to take in the coming four years under their respective leadership.
Many of these stands have a direct relationship with policy making,
but there are others which may be regarded as political maneuverings
for gaining the votes of the people. The issues which have become
increasingly important to some people are stated in the following
paragraphs.
AGRICULTURE
Democrats favor price supports for farm products, including basic
commodities, other storables, and perishable commodities. For basic
agricultural commodities, they promise not less than ninety per cent
of parity. The Republicans favor a farm program aimed at full parity
prices for all farm products in the market place. Their program in-ciudes
commodity loans on non-perishable products. They do not be-lieve
in restrictions on the farmer's ability to produce, while the
Democrats pledge retention of the agricultural adjustment programs
which encourage the production of abundant supplies while enabling
producers to keep supply in line with consumer d:mand. Republicans
condemn the Brannan Plan as a fraud and charge the Democrats with
seeking to destroy the farmer's freedom by attempts made to social-ize
agriculture and to make the farmer dependent upon the govern-ment.
On the other hand, the Democrats point out that in 1952 more
than half the Republicans in the House of Representatives voted against
the law that extended price support at ninety percent of parity through
1954. In 1950 all the Senate Republicans and fifty-six percent of the
House Republicans voted against raising the borrowing power of the
Commodity Credit Corporation by an amount necessary to insure an
adequate loan program. Also in 1952 four out of five Republican
Senators voted to cut soil conservation funds from $280,000,000 to $150,•
000,000.
TAXATION
Republicans charge that wanton extravagance and inflationary
policies have cut the value of the dollar in half and have imposed the
heavy tax burden. The GOP advocates the following policies: reduction
of expeditures so that the budget will balance and a general tax re-duction
can be made by elimination of waste and extravagance; a study
directed towai.d reallocation of fields of taxation between Federal, stitte

Editorial
Monday, you remember, the tem-perature
dropped, and the wind
howled. You might consider me
foolish to take a long walk just
for the sake of an idea. Without
determining my destination, I set
out in pursuit of a thought. I walk-ed
by the drug store and dropped
in for a coke. Then I strolled down
Hamline Ave. and viewed Como
Park. Then I passed the old peo-ple's
home. By this time my feet
were cold so I turned north when
I came to Snelling.
Still no idea for an editorial—.
Maybe, I thought, if I sit at my
typewriter an idea will come to me.
But no, my mind was barren. My
buddy informed me that it was
"coffee time" so we proceeded to
the canteen. I outfumbled him, and
he asked, "Sugar and cream?"
"No," I a9swered, "bla—." That
was it! I had it! I very impolitely
excused myself and hurried back
to the Clarion office.
Here it is—freedom of choice of
mine. I could have my coffee black,
with cream or sugar, or both. I
could take a walk anytime I felt
like it. I could go in a privately
owned drugstore and buy what I
desired. There was, a park, and I
could enjoy it at my pleasure. Old
people who had no one had a place
to go. Everything I do reflects
choice. Who's choice? My choice!
America offers to its citizens the
four freedoms—freedom of speech,
religion, and from fear and want.
But greater than these and includ-ed
in each is the right to choose.
The right to choose is divinely
given.
One need not search the benefits
of our democracy for they lie no
further away than his doorsteps.
You, as a citizen, face an obliga-tion
to your country to vote.
Use This Ballot To Vote!
Vote and place in the voting
boxes in the college, seminary, library,
or dining hall by 6:00 p.m. today,

This coming week will demand our

All Around the Twin Cities
by Catherine Brandt
Forthcoming attractions in the Twin
Cities that will appeal to many Bethelites
give promise of being numerous this winter
season.
In celebration of its golden jubilee year,
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra has
secured world-renowned artists, including
Jascha Heifttz and Artur Rubinstein, for its
Friday evening programs. Eugene Ormandy
and Dimitri Mitropoulos will appear as
guest conductors later in the season. The
programs are held at Northrup auditorium
on the University of Minnesota campus. The
first program, which is November 1, is al-ways
dedicated to the orchestra itself.
Twilight concerts by the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra will be held Sunday
afternoons in November at 4:30 in the
Northrup auditorium.
The University Artists' Course will present
Rudolf Serkin, pianist, at its next program
November 25 at 8:30 p.m., at Northrup
auditorium.
Tickets for the concerts at Northrup
auditorium will be on sale one week before
each program at the Field Schlick ticket
office, St. Paul, and at the Minneapolis
downtown ticket office.
Also free are educational films shown
SUnday afternoons at 2:20 and 3:15 p.m., in
the Science museum on University Ave.,
across from the state capitol.
Combined choirs of the House of Hope
Presbyterian church, St. Paul, will sing

content aroused over the previous system
of meal tickets and the administration
hoped that by using the meal card it would
alieviate some of the bickerings.
However, we appreciate your voicing your
problem through this medium in order
that it may be brought to\ the attention of
the whole student body. We invite others
to present their opinions.
We suggest that the administration take
a poll of all students with meal cards and
formulate the general campus opinion and
problems in this matter, the results of
which can be published in the CLARION.

Dear Editor:
Must I continue to let out my skirts
while the fellows are literally starving and
pulling - their belts in another notch? We
girls are overfed (at least I feel that way),
while the fellows are not getting satis-fied.
Something should be done to "balance
the scales."
Several girls have admittedly gained
weight, whereas the fellows have been los-ing.
Looking up on a Ealorie chart and by
doing some figuring, I have discovered the
reason. Our diet as it is this year contains
approximately 2500 calories a day. The
average girl needs about 2000 calories a
day, and the fellows need at least 3000 or
more. Thus, as it stands, we girls are get-ting
too much, and the fellows aren't get-ting
enough.
How can this problem be solved? Those
girls to whom I have talked hate not to
take potatoes, bread, and dessert, since they
are already paid for. Why should we girls
have to pay as much as the fellows when
we could get along on less?
Last year on the meal book plan I never
used more than eight meal books a quarter
(at a cost of $77.25), whereas the fellows
used at least ten or twelve. They weren't
losing weight then, nor did I gain. It seems
to me that that was a better arrangement,
for we could take the desired items. I don't
mean to complain about the food, but I
would like more fresh fruit( without having
to go without part of the basic meal in
order to get it) and less starches and grav-ies.
I wish a plan could be worked out with
the girls paying less, thereby getting less
items and the fellows paying a higher rate,
receiving a more substantial diet. I under-stand
that in another Christian college stu-dents
buy either a four-item meal ticket or
a more expensive five-Rem ticket( receiving
the number of items at each meal accord-ing
to the kind of ticket, plus all the milk
they desire to drink.
_Having voiced my plea, I'm desirous of
action. Otherwise, I'll have to present Bethel
with a bill for a new wardrobe.

Dear CC:
"Summum Bonum, or the greatest good
for the greatest number, is the aim of
the administration in its new policy regard-ing
meal tickets," Mr. Harold Lidbom, busi-ness
manager of the school, replied to the
probe of the Clarion editors. Mr. Lidbom
assured us that the intention is to reduce
costs to a minimum for the majority of
students. There had been considerable dis-smoill9V

i hate politicaling ever since a lady political came up to me and asked me to sup-port
her of course i had to tell her she was too late for i have been married for
years then this week a 'scaredtom' candidate came on campus to speak and asked
me what public sentiment on bethel campus is i just told him it is about the same

i saw betty boswelt the worm hanging around him i guess boswell is the only
'scaredtom' on campus who will vote for 'sneetnovs' the rest of us say i like 'eik'
final vote on campus will be 514 for 'eik' and one wormy vote for 'sneetnovs'
looks like the 'nicasuperlb' party will be in its about time for a change if i re-member
right when my baby brother used to cry a lot my mother said it was
time for a change and our nation is crying now a change won't mean we'll lose
our jobs once there was a dog catcher in a town for six years and he lost his job
someone asked him if there was a change of politicals and he said no he finally
caught the dog so you cant blame the 'nicarsuperlb' party for that i only know
one who likes mud slinging around here and thats boswell i heard 'ratnum' giving
a special political toss of mud at my 'eik' boswell better go crawl around in the

the good people cant wade through it to get to the fiz Id house to vote im starting

Dean of Women Says:
3EtfiEf gEt _113EttEt &v-Ety Eat
by Jim Wilson
"I think Bethel girls are getting better every year, and the boys too," said Miss
Effie Nelson, reviewing her fifteen years as Dean of Women,
Have you seen many changes in college women?
"They are more frank and straightforward with their problems now. There
has also been a lot of change in employment during the last 15 years. We used to
have as many as 40 girls working in homes for room and board. Now we have
only three. Most girls now work in offices."
How about romance on the campus?
"Oh I have to give advice to the lovelorn although naturally I do not con-sider
myself a great authority."
Do you come to know the girls at Bethel quite well?
"Yes, I meet most of them through one organization or another. Counselling
those with poor grades requires so much of my time that I cannot meet them all
personally and I have a hard time remembering names. It is embarrassing some-times
when a young man comes back to Bethel and I can't remember which one
of his girl friends he married. I have asked how Ruth was when I should have
inquired about Helen."
You have been at Bethel for some time
haven't you?
"Let me see, I have been here 27 years.
When I came in 1925 there was only the
Seminary and College building here. Life
was less complicated then, for we had
dormitory rooms on the upper floor. All
some students had to do was to ge out of
bed and come downstairs to class."
Apparently teaching at Bethel Academy
27 years ago was a Jack-of-all-trades propo-sition.
At various times Miss Nelson taught
civics, economics, German, English and an-cient,
medieval and American history.
Since Miss Nelson's father, a Baptist pas-tor,
was a graduate of Bethel Seminary
in Chicago, she has always been interested
in the school.
As a school girl in Stromsburg, Nebr., she canvassed the neighborhood selling
"bricks for Bethel" at five cents each. However, the future Dean of Women offer-ed
them at five for a quarter. "After all," she said, "who would buy only one
brick?"
She attended three high schools, Stromsburg and Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux
City. Nevertheless, she did not lose a credit Or honor point and was on the honor
roll at graduation.
Miss Nelson worked to help pay the cost of her education and also played an
active role in her father's church as pianist, choir member and young people's
leader. Incidentally, she did not get into any scrapes in college or have to go to
the Dean of Women.
Besides being Dean of Women, she is secretary of the College faculty associa-tion,
German instructor and adviser to Bethel Women's Association and German Club.
Miss Nelson's favorite Bible passage is Isaiah 41:10: "Fear thou not; for I am
with thee: I will strengthen thee; Yea, I will help thee; Yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness."
Tior Le Monde--C'est La Vie'
by Susan Rusinko
What did you enjoy most? What are your impressions of Europe? To answer
the first of these queStions is an impossibility, since the offerings of each country
were so very peculiarly its own and so equally attractive with those of other lands.
To attempt to reply to the second on the basis of the limited experiences of one
summer would probably result in fallacious conclusions. However, a few general
impressions most tourists have carried back. to America are worth exploring.
Perhaps the force which made the most tremendous impact upon us was the
heavy atmosphere of centuries of historical, political, and cultural tradit:on. Euro-peans
take great pride in reviewing for the American, the history of the famed
Tower of London in which so many political prisoners made history and in which
the fabulous crown jewels of England are kept. The Louvre Museum in Paris, the
Medici Chapel and Uffizzi Gallery in Florence, and the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's
Cathedral, and St. Paul's Outside-the-Walls in Rome, all museums and churches
which contain the most famous paintings and sculptures in Western civilization,
such as the works of Raphael and Michaelangelo. The magnificent cathedrals of
Florence, Siena, Pisa, Rome, Venice, and Paris represent artistic excellences prob-ably
unequalled anywhere.
Contrasted with this luxuriance of art, one cannot help being constantly aware
of poverty, particularly in southern Italy. The English people, in this respect,
command only the greatest admiration of the visitor for the graciously stoic man-lier
with which they accept the economic restrictions placed upon them in their
almost desperate attempt to restore national economic stability. I shall never forget
the remark of an English gentleman at our table on board ship as he looked down
at a pork chop on his plate, "This is a man's meat ration for one week in Eng-land."
The ironic twist in the remark was that our ship had purchased all the
meat for its return voyage in England.
And, of course, in even this- sketchy a review of impressions, one dare not
omit mention of the charming, serene beauty of the English countryside, the
exotic, extravagant fauna and flora of the famed Italian and French Rivieras, the
magnificent incomparably majestic Austrian and Swiss Alps. Nothing could have
been ' more welcome to two weary travelers after a week or two of exhausting
sightseeing than short vacations on the French Riviera at Nice, at Venice with its
famed canals and romantic gondolas, and at San Anton am Arlberg, a quaint ham-let,
nestled in the Austrian Alps, with its zither music, native costumes, German
folk band, and many customs dating back hundreds of years, such as the funeral
procession with its black, horse-drawn hearse and procession-on-foot.
All in all, our impressions of Europe are only the pleansantest: Even our friends
were disappointed because we did not experience poor 'hotel accommodations, scar-city
of food, and other privations about which we were so diligently warned. The
slow, easy way of life in Europe, the mouth-watering delicacies of the French and
Italian chefs, the exchange of pleasantries and ideas with Europeans we met on
trains, buses, in hotels and on sight-seeing tours, the many highly amusing, and
at times almo -t embarraAsing, experiences (such as the nearly catastrophic disin-tegration
of Miss Bisgrove's bathing suit in the waters of the Adriatic, our par-ticipation
as a two-man American team in the international shuffleboard tourna-ment
on board ship, observation of the homeward voyage from the ship's bridge,
etc., etc., etc.), are memories that will remain with us for many and many a day.

and local governments so that double taxation may be minimized and
the divisions of government may be able to meet obligations more
efficiently; a revision of the present internal revenue laws; admini-stration
of tax laws free from politics, favoritism, and corruption.
They also want the Federal Reserve System free of political influence.
Democrats charge that past tax programs by the Republicans have
raised taxes on small incomes and reduced taxes on large incomes.
Loopholes in the present tax laws favor oil companies, insurance com-panies,
corporations, and high income bracket families. According to
the Democrats, if tax loopholes were plugged and adequate excess-profits
taxes were levied, ten billion dollars could be collected. Demo-crats
charge the Republican Eightieth Congress passed three tax re-duction
laws over the President's veto which lowered taxes by the
largest percent on the higher incomes. The Wall Street Journal of Nov-ember
28, 1951, states that "low income individuals get the stiffest
percentage in their federal income taxes."
The Democrats believe that economizing on forms of federal assist-ance,
cuts would probably be taken from aid to business, farm pro-grams,
research, conservation, price supports, and welfare. These cuts
would have a serious effect on the majority of American families, since
one-half have an annual income of less than $3000. Benefits which are
likely to suffer are public housing, public education, public health
service, soil conservation, and farm assistance. Governor Stevenson
has set forth a four point program against inflation: Cutting non-essential
federal expeditures to the bare bones of safety; retention
of price, rent and wage controls until cost of living increase stops;
curbs on excessive private credit to keep money market on an even
non-inflationary keel; taxes "as close as possible to a pay-as-we-go
standard." In summing up his program, Stevenson declares that we must
pinch every penny as best we can; even if this is done, the federal
budget is still going to be large as long as this country must be ready
for national emergencies.
LABOR
The repeal of the Taft-Hartley Labor Act is advocated by the
Democrats because they charge that it interferes in an arbitrary manner
with collective bargaining by favoring management against labor, that
it has forced workers to act as strikebreakers against fellow unionists,
that it arbitrarily forbids traditional hiring practices which are de-sired
by both management and labor in many industries, that it in-terferes
with the right of workers to organize in unions of their own
choosing, that it does not provide an adequate way of meeting national
emergency situations. The Republicans favor retention of the Taft-
Hartley law and urge the adoption of amendments which would fur-ther
protect the rights of labor, management, and the public. They
condemn the President's seizure of plants and industries to force the
settlement of labor disputes without the Constitution specifically stat-ing
that he might do so.
In the five years before the Taft-Hartley law was passed, the
labor force was increased by 90,000 persons and union membership
by 5,000,000. Since that law has been in effect (1947), the labor
force has increased by 4,500,000 persons, but unions have gained only
800,000 members. Stevenson has announced five principles as a basis
for a new labor law: The law must accept labor unions as the respon-sible
representatives of their members' interests. Labor unions must
conform to standards of fair conduct and equal protection in the
exercise of their stewardship. The law must outlaw unfair bargaining
practices by companies or unions. Labor injunction must be outlawed.
New methods must be found for settling national disputes.
FOREIGN POLICY
The Republicans charge that the present administration abandoned
friendly nations such as Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, and Czecho-slovakia
to fend for themselves against Communist agression which
soon swallowed them. In the past seven years more than 500,000,000
non-Russian people of seven different countries have been absorbed
into the power spheres of Communist Russia. One definite stand against
Communist aggression was taken in Greece after ignoring the growing
influence in other areas. This effective stand was taken and directed
by the support of the Republican Eightieth Congress.
According to the GOP, the present administration required the
National Government of China to surrender Manchuria to the control
of Russia, they urged that Communists be taken into the Chinese
government and its military forces, they denied the military aid that
had been authorized by Congress and which was needed to save
China. In South Korea our occupation troops were withdrawn in
the face of Communist military strength on its northern border.
Republicans charge the Democrats with following an Asia last policy
in contrast to Russia's Asia first policy. The Administration is charged
with neglect of the friendship offered by other American republics
and with causing anti-American sentiment in the Middle East and
parts of Africa.
The Republicans pledge to repudiate secret commitments made
by Roosevelt at Yalta. They will limit foreign aid by measuring our
foreign commitments so that they can be borne without endanger
ing the economic health and finances of the United States. The GOP
states that we have no clear consistent, comprehensive foreign policy.
They point to the major policies of the Republican Eightieth Congress
as the best sound policies developed during the present Administra-tion,
the two major ones being the European Recovery Program and
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
In defense of their position, the Democrats point out that the
Administration has given full support to the United Nations in the
endeavor for peace from political and economic strife throughout the
world. President Truman's Point Four Program was a Democratic
accomplishment which has helped cement friendly relations with many
countries. The Marshall Plan and the North Atlantic Treaty Organ-ization
were approved, supported, and encouraged by the chief exec-utive,
Democratic Congressmen, and Democrats throughout the country.
CIVIL RIGHTS
The Democrats propose legislation guaranteeing equal rights to
jobs, security and the ballot, regardless of race, creed, or origin.
The GOP believes that the states should carry the chief responsi-bility
for maintainance of civil rights but pledges Federal action
against lynching and poll taxes. They advocate that, in cases where
the states did not act on these problems, a Federal law should be
enacted.

THE CLARION Friday, October 31, 1952
(Continued from column 1)
NATURAL RESOURCES
The off-shore oil resources are a main issue between the Demo.
crats and the Republicans. Democrats favor the plan of the interest
in these resources being invested in all the people of the United
States. The Republicans favor the plan of these tremendous resources
belonging to the states.
On the question of how the country's power resources should be
developed, the Republicans choose the side of private utilities, al-though
the Democrats contend that government development means
cheap power, more jobs, lower prices, flood control, navigation, irri-gation,
and conservation. Republicans urge Federal, state, and local
governments to join in public works projects. They believe the state
control of water must be preserved from Federal encroachment.
CORRUPTION
The Republicans declare that the Administration's record of "fraud,
bribery, graft and favoritism" has shocked the American people. They
pledge an end to corruption and the removal of crooks and grafters.
Also they promised to improve the loyalty program, making sure
that no Reds infiltrate the government. During the Eightieth Congress,
134 persons were removed from the State Department because of
their Communistic relationships.
CONTROLS
The Democrats promise to remove controls when conditions per-mit,
but to retain them as long as they are required. They will con-tinue
rent control in defense areas and other localities suffering
from a housing shortage. The Republicans plan to fight inflation
by full production, and eliminate rent control except in defense
areas.
After reviewing some of the issues of the campaign, one finds
still other things which will greatly influence the 1952 presidential
contest in November. Among these are the voting trends of large
organizations, the effectiveness of party supporters, the effect of
the political mud-slinging, and the strength of candidates in certain
key states.
In gaining votes from the labor element of American voters,
Gov. Stevenson has been able to "take command" of 5 million votes
from the C.I.O. and 8 million votes from the A.F. of L.—at least as
far as the labor leaders are concerned. The United Mine Workers
under John L. Lewis has also pledged support of Gov. Stevenson at
the election polls in November. When the A.F. of L. endorsed the
candidacy of Gov. Stevenson it marked the first time in 70 years that
it had come out in an all-out endorsement of a party candidate. It
did this chiefly because its policies and the Governor's program
were generally similar, whereas Eisenhower's views did not meet
their full approval. The vital difference was that Stevenson favored
repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act while Eisenhower favored changes.
Other vital factors in the success of the candidates is the effect
on the voters of the men who are supporting them for election, and
the effect the candidates support of certain "objectionable" office
holders will have. Gov . Stevenson has been backed by President Tru-man
as he has gone out on his "whistle stop" tours. Some people
contend that Stevenson is a slave of President Truman and that he
will have to carry on the Truman tradition if he is elected. As for
Gen. Eisenhower, he has come out in full party support of all of its
candidates who are up for election. This means that he is a supporter
of Sen. McCarthy of Wisconsin and Sen. Taft of Ohio, each of which
represents different party factions. Some people already say that
Gen. Eisenhower has become a spokesman of Taft and the G.O.P.
Oid Guard. The Democrats say that he will not be free to carry out
his promises on certain issues because of the lack of Republican
support. One example is his advocation of full parity. Last June a
majority of Republicans voted against 90% of parity in Congress.
These same Republicans will also hold Eisenhower back in fulfilling
his promises of a 100% parity because of their record in voting last
June. The backing of McCarthy by Eisenhower has already brought
opposition from some Republican congressmen. In spite of party re-sentment,
Eisenhower keeps with his policy of party support because he
believes that local sections of the country know the man they want
for Congress and that if the sections vote for a man, then Eisenhower
will back him with his support.
The actual winner of the election will be determined by which
candidate carries the most electoral votes. The Democrats are usually
assured of 152 electoral votes in the Solid South although at present
General Eisenhower has a chance of gaining the Louisiana and Texas
votes because of his positive stand for the states, concerning the owner-ship
of the tidelands and because of the Southern revolt against Tru-man.
He may also get the vote of Florida which would mean 44
electoral votes taken away from Governor Stevenson. Other important
states will be California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York.
L9-at oa at a ealeoutali The Republicans hope to carry California on the strength of its
being the home state of the vice presidential candidate, Richard Nixon,
and because of the full support given by Governor Earl Warren.
Illinois, it is generally accepted, will go to the Democratic party.
Pennsylvania, so far, is strong in Eisenhower's support. New York,
which carries 45 electoral votes, is still very doubtful in the eyes
of voting analysts. Governor Dewey has strong Republican forces in
upstate New York but the Democrats are strong in the metropolitan
November 3-7—Deeper Life Week districts. The remaining task that the two candidates now face is to
travel to the different parts of the country in order to strengthen
their support where they have a chance to win electoral votes.

A very advantageous offer for Bethelites to obtain tickets to
the Minneapolis Symphony Series at a reduced rate has been ex-tended
by the administration. Mildred Bisgrove, the assistant pro-fessor
of music will handle eight tickets a week. She emphasized
that the seats were good. They are located two-thirds of the way
down on the left side of Northrup auditorium and are regularly
$3.50 seats. The reduced rate to students through the school is $1.50.
Veteran's Corner
Q. I am a World War II veteran,
and I am entitled to a GI loan,
although I never used this
benefit. I returned to active
duty, and as a result of my
recent service, I meet eligibili-ty
requirements for a GI loan
under the new Korean GI Bill.
Will I be able to get two GI
loan entitlements, as a result?
A. No. World War II veterans
who reentered service since
Korea will have their unused
loan entitlement under the
World War II Bill cancelled
after their discharge and will
have it replaced with new en-titlement
under the Korean GI
Bill. In your case, you will
have 10 years from the end of
the present emergency to ap-ply
for a GI loan—rather than
July 25, 1957, the World War
II deadline for loans.
Q. May I attend a foreign school
under the new Korean GI Bill?
A. Yes, so long as you meet the
eligibility requirements of the
new law, and so long as the
school is an approved institu-tion
of higher learning. VA
has the right to deny or dis-continue
a veteran's foreign
training, if it finds that the
training "is not for the best
interest of the veteran or the
Government.
Q. How much can a veteran bor-row
on his permanent National
Service Life Insurance policy?
Also, what's the annual inter-est
charged on such loans?
A. A veteran may borrow up to
94 percent of the reserve value
of his policy if the policy has
been in force for a year or
more. The interest rate is four
percent per year.
O. I'm planning to convert my
NSLI term policy to permanent
endowment insurance. If I'm
still living at the end of the
endowment period, how will I
receive my money?
A. You will have a choice. You
may either get the insurance
proceeds in a lump sum, or you
may ask VA to pay them to
you in equal monthly install-ments
ranging in number from
36 to 240. If you die before
all the installments have been
paid to you, the remainder will
go to your beneficiary, if you
have named one.
Q. I know of a World War II vet-eran
who has become incompe-tent.
Can his GI insurance pre-miums
be paid by another per-son?
A. Yes. The premiums may be
paid by any person on his be-half.
If the veteran's premium
return envelope isn't used, care
should be taken to identify
the payment properly, includ-ing
the insured veteran's full
name, address, date of birth,
service serial number and in-surance
number.

Selective Service Test
Deadline Announced
According to Selective Service officials the deadline for submitting
applications for the December 4 Selective Service College Qualification
Test is midnight November 1 (Saturday), and applications postmarked
after that time cannot be considered. The college dean's office has an
adequate supply of test application blanks on hand for draft-eligible
students.
Students are to mail their com-pleted
applications to Educational
Testing Service of Princeton, New
Jersey.
To be eligible to apply for the
college deferment test a student
must (1) intend to request defer-ment
as a student, (2) be satisfac-torily
pursuing a full-time course
of instruction; and (3) must not
have previously taken the Selective
Service College Qualification Test.
Another test will be held April
23, 1953 but General Hershey em-phasized
that increasing manpower
demands make it important that
each draft-eligible student who has
not taken the test do so as soon
as possible.
The present criteria for defer-ment
as an undergraduate student
are either a satisfactory score (70)
on the Selective Service College
Qualification Test or specified rank
in class (upper half of the male
freshman class, upper two - thirds
of the male sophomore class, or
upper three-fourths of the male
junior class).

At last Thursday's college chapel (a week ago) students got first
hand the experiences of what three Bethel faculty members included
as extra-curriculars in their stndent days. The Student council spon-sored
affair featured Dr. Virginia Lowell Grabill, chairman of the
Department of English, Dr. W. Robert Smith, visiting professor of
philosophy, and Elving Anderson, assistant professor of zoology, on a
panel discussing the topic, "What part should extra curricular activities
play in the life of the Bethel student?" "What did I do?" was the
thought of each speaker as they discussed the topic in its three areas:
Extra-curriculars on campus; Extra-Curriculars off campus; and the
Social aspect - dating.
__Most broadening to her experience were, Dr. Grabill said, debating,
teaching a Sunday school class, informal discussions, and hearing good
speakers and concerts. In summary, she advised the students to save
up time and money for attending events that are bigger and of more
value—such as outstanding concerts—where real enjoyment could be
had on a date or otherwise.
"Get as many wholesome experiences in life as you can," was the
summary of Dr. Smith's advice to the students. He encouraged the stu-dents
to "Learn everything about one thing and something about every
thing." He urged the students to attend stndent concerts, participate
in campus musical groups, and to attend speeches and concerts, al-ways
trying to develope the aesthetic nature.
"Don't be afraid to try something new" was Elving Anderson's
challenge to the students. To broaden their experiences Mr. Anderson
suggested they attend certain university activities such as concerts by
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra or films by the Museum of Natural
History. On dating, Mr. Anderson was quick to tell the fellows not to
think that a girl had to meet all his qualifications for marriage before
he had a date. "Date for the fun and fellowship and social experience
in it," he emphasized.
This panel discussion was the first of several to be presented by
faculty - student committees in the future on campus and student prob-lems.

Nik Dag Secrets
by Martha Witherow
From dark shadows, through open transome, behind locked doors,
through mysterious key holes, the secret of the campus has finally
been revealed. What to expect on the eventful night of November 1
has been finally disclosed. Now for the first time students will know a
little of what is awaiting them.
Need Baiciv Baciiv--Bad.weit
Dear Editor:
I just went outside for a breath of fresh air and found that Uncle
Harry was in town. He gave the word and iterated that there are no
silverfish in the government. It's just another Red herring, or lutefisk,
or some fiskbullar. Most of the silverfish are in the trouser's of the
opposition party's nominee. Otherwise, why should he be shifting posi-tions
so often? I understand that Smorgie has accused me of slinging
mud. Whoever heard of a bookworm leaving a dry book to slobber in
slime. Conversely, is not a puddled muddle, or muddled puddle the
habitat of silverfish? Smorgie's been wallowing around in mud so
long that his antennae are covered with dirt and he's getting static on
his receptors. To succumb to common vernacular, "his tail is dragging."
This must certainly substantiate my contention that the bookworms are
the upright intellectuals while the silverfish are life on the lowest plane.

Royal Riteup
B. S. Degree Needed
To Attract Athletes
by Gene Messenger
With the Hamline game now on record the question of whether
or not Bethel would be capable of providing adequate competition
in the Minnesota Collegiate conference has come to the front more
than ever.
The Bethel squadron that went down fighting last week-end is per-haps
the best aggregation of football players Bethel has ever had. How-ever,
despite the fine showing the Royals displayed last Friday night
it is evident that under our present system we would have difficulty
holding our own in the league.
Our expanding athletic program has been a definite attraction for
high school athletes, yet many of our best athletes interested in Bethel
turn their applications in other directions because of the absence of a
B.S. degree in physical educaion. Most of the outstanding athletes in
our high schools are interested in coaching and attend colleges and
universities where they can attain their degree in their chosen field.
With the possibility of the B.S. degree being added to Bethel's
curriculum in the near future many of those athletes interested in a
college with a spiritual emphasis will apply for admission to our school.
The question then arises—Is not this an over-emphasis on sports
so characteristic of many of our larger schools today? I siloitat" think
This feature will not be a means of just getting better athletes for
our teams but will afford those interested in Bethel's sandard an
opporunity to get an education for their chosen vocation.
Returning to the game of last Friday night it can, in certain ways,
be considered a victory for the Royals, even though they were on the
short end of the score.
It was a definite moral victory for the Blue and Gold and proved
the little quirk written on he blackboard by one of the Bethel players
before the game, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size
of the fight in the dog."

of those in positions of lead-ership;
the threat of corporate pri-vate

the relation of positive and nega-tive
government to prosperity and

brought forth arguments concern-ing
the failure of the present state
administration to deal effectively
with problems of education, the
aged, rehabilitation, resource de-velopment
and industry encourage-ment
in the State of Minnesota.
He offered in propositional form
a program which would give ade-quate
consideration to these areas
of state life.
Dr. Walter H. Judd, representative from Minnesota's Fifth Congres•
sional District in Minneapolis, will address the student body and faculty
today at 12:00 noon in the Field house. Congressman Judd, Republican,
is now serving his fifth consecutive term as a member of Congress.
In 1925, under the Foreign mission Board of the Congregational
Church, Dr. Judd went as a medical missionary to south China to a
mission hospital near the coast of southern Fukien province. More
than 40 malaria attacks nearly killed him, and, in 1931 he was forced
to return to the United States. In 1934 he went back to China to head
a hospital.
The aggression of the Japanese and the foreign policy of the United
States compelled him to return to the U.S. in order to propagate his
belief that Americans should "boycott Japan now or give up their sons
later." He gave 1,400 speeches in 46 states in the months to follow.
Dr. Judd set up a temporary
medical practice in Minneapolis
in 1941 and was selected in 1942
to the 78th Congress.
He enlisted as a private in the
United States Army during World
War I and was discharged as a lieu-tenant
in the Field Artillery. In
1932 he received a fellowship in
surgery at the Mayo Clinic at
Rochester, Minnesota.
Having lived ten years in China
as a medical missionary, Dr. Judd
is one of the few members of
Congress who can speak with per-sonal
knowledge of what is now
happening in Asia and the Pacific.
He is a member of the American
Medical Association, the China
Society, and Phi Beta Kappa.
This speech is the closing event
sponsored by the Student Coun-cil's
Political Actions Committee.
Mr. Robert Sandin has been the
chairman.

What's at Stake In the Election?
(The following materials were developed from a class assignment
in American Government. The committee which finally brought together
this short summary was composed of Florence Pruessner, Donald Fuller,
and John Burton.)
The actual issues of the 1952 presidential campaign are largely
hidden. To the average American, they seem to be vague and unrecog-nizable
behind the showy front of political propaganda. One important
reason for this lack of clearness in the minds of the American public
as to what the issues of the campaign are is that on many important
questions, both parties have taken almost the same stand. Eisenhower
and Stevenson both vigorously campaign against corruption in govern-ment.
Republicans point to the existing corruption in the national
government under the Democrats while the Democrats make a display
of the corruption within the Republican-controlled areas of government.
Both candidates take a strong stand against Communism. Republicans
bring into the open the cases of Communist infiltration into the Demo-cratic-
controlled government and the Democrats point out the fact that,
after all, it is they who are wiping the Communists out of the Govern-ment.
Of course, since both parties stand nearly alike on important
matters, each has to resort to trying to run down the other party; at
least this seems to be the adopted philosophy. The Democrats dig up a
scandal about Nixon's financial matters; meanwhile, the Republicans
seek to scandalize Stevenson's monetary activity. Name-calling has be-come
the accepted and expected practice in the present campaign. To
some, the issues seem to have taken a back-seat with the campaign
centering on the candidates. This being the case, it would be fitting to
look into the personal qualifications and advantages of each of them.
Although the issues are obscure to some people, to others they
are vital factors in the outcome of the campaign. The two parties have
taken stands which they believe to be the right action for our country
to take in the coming four years under their respective leadership.
Many of these stands have a direct relationship with policy making,
but there are others which may be regarded as political maneuverings
for gaining the votes of the people. The issues which have become
increasingly important to some people are stated in the following
paragraphs.
AGRICULTURE
Democrats favor price supports for farm products, including basic
commodities, other storables, and perishable commodities. For basic
agricultural commodities, they promise not less than ninety per cent
of parity. The Republicans favor a farm program aimed at full parity
prices for all farm products in the market place. Their program in-ciudes
commodity loans on non-perishable products. They do not be-lieve
in restrictions on the farmer's ability to produce, while the
Democrats pledge retention of the agricultural adjustment programs
which encourage the production of abundant supplies while enabling
producers to keep supply in line with consumer d:mand. Republicans
condemn the Brannan Plan as a fraud and charge the Democrats with
seeking to destroy the farmer's freedom by attempts made to social-ize
agriculture and to make the farmer dependent upon the govern-ment.
On the other hand, the Democrats point out that in 1952 more
than half the Republicans in the House of Representatives voted against
the law that extended price support at ninety percent of parity through
1954. In 1950 all the Senate Republicans and fifty-six percent of the
House Republicans voted against raising the borrowing power of the
Commodity Credit Corporation by an amount necessary to insure an
adequate loan program. Also in 1952 four out of five Republican
Senators voted to cut soil conservation funds from $280,000,000 to $150,•
000,000.
TAXATION
Republicans charge that wanton extravagance and inflationary
policies have cut the value of the dollar in half and have imposed the
heavy tax burden. The GOP advocates the following policies: reduction
of expeditures so that the budget will balance and a general tax re-duction
can be made by elimination of waste and extravagance; a study
directed towai.d reallocation of fields of taxation between Federal, stitte

Editorial
Monday, you remember, the tem-perature
dropped, and the wind
howled. You might consider me
foolish to take a long walk just
for the sake of an idea. Without
determining my destination, I set
out in pursuit of a thought. I walk-ed
by the drug store and dropped
in for a coke. Then I strolled down
Hamline Ave. and viewed Como
Park. Then I passed the old peo-ple's
home. By this time my feet
were cold so I turned north when
I came to Snelling.
Still no idea for an editorial—.
Maybe, I thought, if I sit at my
typewriter an idea will come to me.
But no, my mind was barren. My
buddy informed me that it was
"coffee time" so we proceeded to
the canteen. I outfumbled him, and
he asked, "Sugar and cream?"
"No," I a9swered, "bla—." That
was it! I had it! I very impolitely
excused myself and hurried back
to the Clarion office.
Here it is—freedom of choice of
mine. I could have my coffee black,
with cream or sugar, or both. I
could take a walk anytime I felt
like it. I could go in a privately
owned drugstore and buy what I
desired. There was, a park, and I
could enjoy it at my pleasure. Old
people who had no one had a place
to go. Everything I do reflects
choice. Who's choice? My choice!
America offers to its citizens the
four freedoms—freedom of speech,
religion, and from fear and want.
But greater than these and includ-ed
in each is the right to choose.
The right to choose is divinely
given.
One need not search the benefits
of our democracy for they lie no
further away than his doorsteps.
You, as a citizen, face an obliga-tion
to your country to vote.
Use This Ballot To Vote!

All Around the Twin Cities
by Catherine Brandt
Forthcoming attractions in the Twin
Cities that will appeal to many Bethelites
give promise of being numerous this winter
season.
In celebration of its golden jubilee year,
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra has
secured world-renowned artists, including
Jascha Heifttz and Artur Rubinstein, for its
Friday evening programs. Eugene Ormandy
and Dimitri Mitropoulos will appear as
guest conductors later in the season. The
programs are held at Northrup auditorium
on the University of Minnesota campus. The
first program, which is November 1, is al-ways
dedicated to the orchestra itself.
Twilight concerts by the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra will be held Sunday
afternoons in November at 4:30 in the
Northrup auditorium.
The University Artists' Course will present
Rudolf Serkin, pianist, at its next program
November 25 at 8:30 p.m., at Northrup
auditorium.
Tickets for the concerts at Northrup
auditorium will be on sale one week before
each program at the Field Schlick ticket
office, St. Paul, and at the Minneapolis
downtown ticket office.
Also free are educational films shown
SUnday afternoons at 2:20 and 3:15 p.m., in
the Science museum on University Ave.,
across from the state capitol.
Combined choirs of the House of Hope

content aroused over the previous system
of meal tickets and the administration
hoped that by using the meal card it would
alieviate some of the bickerings.
However, we appreciate your voicing your
problem through this medium in order
that it may be brought to\ the attention of
the whole student body. We invite others
to present their opinions.
We suggest that the administration take
a poll of all students with meal cards and
formulate the general campus opinion and
problems in this matter, the results of
which can be published in the CLARION.

Dear Editor:
Must I continue to let out my skirts
while the fellows are literally starving and
pulling - their belts in another notch? We
girls are overfed (at least I feel that way),
while the fellows are not getting satis-fied.
Something should be done to "balance
the scales."
Several girls have admittedly gained
weight, whereas the fellows have been los-ing.
Looking up on a Ealorie chart and by
doing some figuring, I have discovered the
reason. Our diet as it is this year contains
approximately 2500 calories a day. The
average girl needs about 2000 calories a
day, and the fellows need at least 3000 or
more. Thus, as it stands, we girls are get-ting
too much, and the fellows aren't get-ting
enough.
How can this problem be solved? Those
girls to whom I have talked hate not to
take potatoes, bread, and dessert, since they
are already paid for. Why should we girls
have to pay as much as the fellows when
we could get along on less?
Last year on the meal book plan I never
used more than eight meal books a quarter
(at a cost of $77.25), whereas the fellows
used at least ten or twelve. They weren't
losing weight then, nor did I gain. It seems
to me that that was a better arrangement,
for we could take the desired items. I don't
mean to complain about the food, but I
would like more fresh fruit( without having
to go without part of the basic meal in
order to get it) and less starches and grav-ies.
I wish a plan could be worked out with
the girls paying less, thereby getting less
items and the fellows paying a higher rate,
receiving a more substantial diet. I under-stand
that in another Christian college stu-dents
buy either a four-item meal ticket or
a more expensive five-Rem ticket( receiving
the number of items at each meal accord-ing
to the kind of ticket, plus all the milk
they desire to drink.
_Having voiced my plea, I'm desirous of
action. Otherwise, I'll have to present Bethel
with a bill for a new wardrobe.

Dear CC:
"Summum Bonum, or the greatest good
for the greatest number, is the aim of
the administration in its new policy regard-ing
meal tickets," Mr. Harold Lidbom, busi-ness
manager of the school, replied to the
probe of the Clarion editors. Mr. Lidbom
assured us that the intention is to reduce
costs to a minimum for the majority of
students. There had been considerable dis-smoill9V

i hate politicaling ever since a lady political came up to me and asked me to sup-port
her of course i had to tell her she was too late for i have been married for

i saw betty boswelt the worm hanging around him i guess boswell is the only
'scaredtom' on campus who will vote for 'sneetnovs' the rest of us say i like 'eik'
final vote on campus will be 514 for 'eik' and one wormy vote for 'sneetnovs'
looks like the 'nicasuperlb' party will be in its about time for a change if i re-member
right when my baby brother used to cry a lot my mother said it was
time for a change and our nation is crying now a change won't mean we'll lose
our jobs once there was a dog catcher in a town for six years and he lost his job
someone asked him if there was a change of politicals and he said no he finally
caught the dog so you cant blame the 'nicarsuperlb' party for that i only know

Dean of Women Says:
3EtfiEf gEt _113EttEt &v-Ety Eat
by Jim Wilson
"I think Bethel girls are getting better every year, and the boys too," said Miss
Effie Nelson, reviewing her fifteen years as Dean of Women,
Have you seen many changes in college women?
"They are more frank and straightforward with their problems now. There
has also been a lot of change in employment during the last 15 years. We used to
have as many as 40 girls working in homes for room and board. Now we have
only three. Most girls now work in offices."
How about romance on the campus?
"Oh I have to give advice to the lovelorn although naturally I do not con-sider
myself a great authority."
Do you come to know the girls at Bethel quite well?
"Yes, I meet most of them through one organization or another. Counselling
those with poor grades requires so much of my time that I cannot meet them all
personally and I have a hard time remembering names. It is embarrassing some-times
when a young man comes back to Bethel and I can't remember which one
of his girl friends he married. I have asked how Ruth was when I should have
inquired about Helen."
You have been at Bethel for some time
haven't you?
"Let me see, I have been here 27 years.
When I came in 1925 there was only the
Seminary and College building here. Life
was less complicated then, for we had
dormitory rooms on the upper floor. All
some students had to do was to ge out of
bed and come downstairs to class."
Apparently teaching at Bethel Academy
27 years ago was a Jack-of-all-trades propo-sition.
At various times Miss Nelson taught
civics, economics, German, English and an-cient,
medieval and American history.
Since Miss Nelson's father, a Baptist pas-tor,
was a graduate of Bethel Seminary
in Chicago, she has always been interested
in the school.
As a school girl in Stromsburg, Nebr., she canvassed the neighborhood selling
"bricks for Bethel" at five cents each. However, the future Dean of Women offer-ed
them at five for a quarter. "After all," she said, "who would buy only one
brick?"
She attended three high schools, Stromsburg and Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux
City. Nevertheless, she did not lose a credit Or honor point and was on the honor
roll at graduation.
Miss Nelson worked to help pay the cost of her education and also played an
active role in her father's church as pianist, choir member and young people's
leader. Incidentally, she did not get into any scrapes in college or have to go to
the Dean of Women.
Besides being Dean of Women, she is secretary of the College faculty associa-tion,
German instructor and adviser to Bethel Women's Association and German Club.
Miss Nelson's favorite Bible passage is Isaiah 41:10: "Fear thou not; for I am
with thee: I will strengthen thee; Yea, I will help thee; Yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness."
Tior Le Monde--C'est La Vie'
by Susan Rusinko
What did you enjoy most? What are your impressions of Europe? To answer
the first of these queStions is an impossibility, since the offerings of each country
were so very peculiarly its own and so equally attractive with those of other lands.
To attempt to reply to the second on the basis of the limited experiences of one
summer would probably result in fallacious conclusions. However, a few general
impressions most tourists have carried back. to America are worth exploring.
Perhaps the force which made the most tremendous impact upon us was the
heavy atmosphere of centuries of historical, political, and cultural tradit:on. Euro-peans
take great pride in reviewing for the American, the history of the famed
Tower of London in which so many political prisoners made history and in which
the fabulous crown jewels of England are kept. The Louvre Museum in Paris, the
Medici Chapel and Uffizzi Gallery in Florence, and the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's
Cathedral, and St. Paul's Outside-the-Walls in Rome, all museums and churches
which contain the most famous paintings and sculptures in Western civilization,
such as the works of Raphael and Michaelangelo. The magnificent cathedrals of
Florence, Siena, Pisa, Rome, Venice, and Paris represent artistic excellences prob-ably
unequalled anywhere.
Contrasted with this luxuriance of art, one cannot help being constantly aware
of poverty, particularly in southern Italy. The English people, in this respect,
command only the greatest admiration of the visitor for the graciously stoic man-lier
with which they accept the economic restrictions placed upon them in their
almost desperate attempt to restore national economic stability. I shall never forget
the remark of an English gentleman at our table on board ship as he looked down
at a pork chop on his plate, "This is a man's meat ration for one week in Eng-land."
The ironic twist in the remark was that our ship had purchased all the
meat for its return voyage in England.
And, of course, in even this- sketchy a review of impressions, one dare not
omit mention of the charming, serene beauty of the English countryside, the
exotic, extravagant fauna and flora of the famed Italian and French Rivieras, the
magnificent incomparably majestic Austrian and Swiss Alps. Nothing could have
been ' more welcome to two weary travelers after a week or two of exhausting
sightseeing than short vacations on the French Riviera at Nice, at Venice with its
famed canals and romantic gondolas, and at San Anton am Arlberg, a quaint ham-let,
nestled in the Austrian Alps, with its zither music, native costumes, German
folk band, and many customs dating back hundreds of years, such as the funeral
procession with its black, horse-drawn hearse and procession-on-foot.
All in all, our impressions of Europe are only the pleansantest: Even our friends
were disappointed because we did not experience poor 'hotel accommodations, scar-city
of food, and other privations about which we were so diligently warned. The
slow, easy way of life in Europe, the mouth-watering delicacies of the French and
Italian chefs, the exchange of pleasantries and ideas with Europeans we met on
trains, buses, in hotels and on sight-seeing tours, the many highly amusing, and
at times almo -t embarraAsing, experiences (such as the nearly catastrophic disin-tegration
of Miss Bisgrove's bathing suit in the waters of the Adriatic, our par-ticipation
as a two-man American team in the international shuffleboard tourna-ment
on board ship, observation of the homeward voyage from the ship's bridge,
etc., etc., etc.), are memories that will remain with us for many and many a day.

WHAT'S AT STAKE IN THE ELECTION

and local governments so that double taxation may be minimized and
the divisions of government may be able to meet obligations more
efficiently; a revision of the present internal revenue laws; admini-stration
of tax laws free from politics, favoritism, and corruption.
They also want the Federal Reserve System free of political influence.
Democrats charge that past tax programs by the Republicans have
raised taxes on small incomes and reduced taxes on large incomes.
Loopholes in the present tax laws favor oil companies, insurance com-panies,
corporations, and high income bracket families. According to
the Democrats, if tax loopholes were plugged and adequate excess-profits
taxes were levied, ten billion dollars could be collected. Demo-crats
charge the Republican Eightieth Congress passed three tax re-duction
laws over the President's veto which lowered taxes by the
largest percent on the higher incomes. The Wall Street Journal of Nov-ember
28, 1951, states that "low income individuals get the stiffest
percentage in their federal income taxes."
The Democrats believe that economizing on forms of federal assist-ance,
cuts would probably be taken from aid to business, farm pro-grams,
research, conservation, price supports, and welfare. These cuts
would have a serious effect on the majority of American families, since
one-half have an annual income of less than $3000. Benefits which are
likely to suffer are public housing, public education, public health
service, soil conservation, and farm assistance. Governor Stevenson
has set forth a four point program against inflation: Cutting non-essential
federal expeditures to the bare bones of safety; retention
of price, rent and wage controls until cost of living increase stops;
curbs on excessive private credit to keep money market on an even
non-inflationary keel; taxes "as close as possible to a pay-as-we-go
standard." In summing up his program, Stevenson declares that we must
pinch every penny as best we can; even if this is done, the federal
budget is still going to be large as long as this country must be ready
for national emergencies.
LABOR
The repeal of the Taft-Hartley Labor Act is advocated by the
Democrats because they charge that it interferes in an arbitrary manner
with collective bargaining by favoring management against labor, that
it has forced workers to act as strikebreakers against fellow unionists,
that it arbitrarily forbids traditional hiring practices which are de-sired
by both management and labor in many industries, that it in-terferes
with the right of workers to organize in unions of their own
choosing, that it does not provide an adequate way of meeting national
emergency situations. The Republicans favor retention of the Taft-
Hartley law and urge the adoption of amendments which would fur-ther
protect the rights of labor, management, and the public. They
condemn the President's seizure of plants and industries to force the
settlement of labor disputes without the Constitution specifically stat-ing
that he might do so.
In the five years before the Taft-Hartley law was passed, the
labor force was increased by 90,000 persons and union membership
by 5,000,000. Since that law has been in effect (1947), the labor
force has increased by 4,500,000 persons, but unions have gained only
800,000 members. Stevenson has announced five principles as a basis
for a new labor law: The law must accept labor unions as the respon-sible
representatives of their members' interests. Labor unions must
conform to standards of fair conduct and equal protection in the
exercise of their stewardship. The law must outlaw unfair bargaining
practices by companies or unions. Labor injunction must be outlawed.
New methods must be found for settling national disputes.
FOREIGN POLICY
The Republicans charge that the present administration abandoned
friendly nations such as Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, and Czecho-slovakia
to fend for themselves against Communist agression which
soon swallowed them. In the past seven years more than 500,000,000
non-Russian people of seven different countries have been absorbed
into the power spheres of Communist Russia. One definite stand against
Communist aggression was taken in Greece after ignoring the growing
influence in other areas. This effective stand was taken and directed
by the support of the Republican Eightieth Congress.
According to the GOP, the present administration required the
National Government of China to surrender Manchuria to the control
of Russia, they urged that Communists be taken into the Chinese
government and its military forces, they denied the military aid that
had been authorized by Congress and which was needed to save
China. In South Korea our occupation troops were withdrawn in
the face of Communist military strength on its northern border.
Republicans charge the Democrats with following an Asia last policy
in contrast to Russia's Asia first policy. The Administration is charged
with neglect of the friendship offered by other American republics
and with causing anti-American sentiment in the Middle East and
parts of Africa.
The Republicans pledge to repudiate secret commitments made
by Roosevelt at Yalta. They will limit foreign aid by measuring our
foreign commitments so that they can be borne without endanger
ing the economic health and finances of the United States. The GOP
states that we have no clear consistent, comprehensive foreign policy.
They point to the major policies of the Republican Eightieth Congress
as the best sound policies developed during the present Administra-tion,
the two major ones being the European Recovery Program and
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
In defense of their position, the Democrats point out that the
Administration has given full support to the United Nations in the
endeavor for peace from political and economic strife throughout the
world. President Truman's Point Four Program was a Democratic
accomplishment which has helped cement friendly relations with many
countries. The Marshall Plan and the North Atlantic Treaty Organ-ization
were approved, supported, and encouraged by the chief exec-utive,
Democratic Congressmen, and Democrats throughout the country.
CIVIL RIGHTS
The Democrats propose legislation guaranteeing equal rights to
jobs, security and the ballot, regardless of race, creed, or origin.
The GOP believes that the states should carry the chief responsi-bility
for maintainance of civil rights but pledges Federal action
against lynching and poll taxes. They advocate that, in cases where
the states did not act on these problems, a Federal law should be
enacted.

THE CLARION Friday, October 31, 1952
(Continued from column 1)
NATURAL RESOURCES
The off-shore oil resources are a main issue between the Demo.
crats and the Republicans. Democrats favor the plan of the interest
in these resources being invested in all the people of the United
States. The Republicans favor the plan of these tremendous resources
belonging to the states.
On the question of how the country's power resources should be
developed, the Republicans choose the side of private utilities, al-though
the Democrats contend that government development means
cheap power, more jobs, lower prices, flood control, navigation, irri-gation,
and conservation. Republicans urge Federal, state, and local
governments to join in public works projects. They believe the state
control of water must be preserved from Federal encroachment.
CORRUPTION
The Republicans declare that the Administration's record of "fraud,
bribery, graft and favoritism" has shocked the American people. They
pledge an end to corruption and the removal of crooks and grafters.
Also they promised to improve the loyalty program, making sure
that no Reds infiltrate the government. During the Eightieth Congress,
134 persons were removed from the State Department because of
their Communistic relationships.
CONTROLS
The Democrats promise to remove controls when conditions per-mit,
but to retain them as long as they are required. They will con-tinue
rent control in defense areas and other localities suffering
from a housing shortage. The Republicans plan to fight inflation
by full production, and eliminate rent control except in defense
areas.
After reviewing some of the issues of the campaign, one finds
still other things which will greatly influence the 1952 presidential
contest in November. Among these are the voting trends of large
organizations, the effectiveness of party supporters, the effect of
the political mud-slinging, and the strength of candidates in certain
key states.
In gaining votes from the labor element of American voters,
Gov. Stevenson has been able to "take command" of 5 million votes
from the C.I.O. and 8 million votes from the A.F. of L.—at least as
far as the labor leaders are concerned. The United Mine Workers
under John L. Lewis has also pledged support of Gov. Stevenson at
the election polls in November. When the A.F. of L. endorsed the
candidacy of Gov. Stevenson it marked the first time in 70 years that
it had come out in an all-out endorsement of a party candidate. It
did this chiefly because its policies and the Governor's program
were generally similar, whereas Eisenhower's views did not meet
their full approval. The vital difference was that Stevenson favored
repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act while Eisenhower favored changes.
Other vital factors in the success of the candidates is the effect
on the voters of the men who are supporting them for election, and
the effect the candidates support of certain "objectionable" office
holders will have. Gov . Stevenson has been backed by President Tru-man
as he has gone out on his "whistle stop" tours. Some people
contend that Stevenson is a slave of President Truman and that he
will have to carry on the Truman tradition if he is elected. As for
Gen. Eisenhower, he has come out in full party support of all of its
candidates who are up for election. This means that he is a supporter
of Sen. McCarthy of Wisconsin and Sen. Taft of Ohio, each of which
represents different party factions. Some people already say that
Gen. Eisenhower has become a spokesman of Taft and the G.O.P.
Oid Guard. The Democrats say that he will not be free to carry out
his promises on certain issues because of the lack of Republican
support. One example is his advocation of full parity. Last June a
majority of Republicans voted against 90% of parity in Congress.
These same Republicans will also hold Eisenhower back in fulfilling
his promises of a 100% parity because of their record in voting last
June. The backing of McCarthy by Eisenhower has already brought
opposition from some Republican congressmen. In spite of party re-sentment,
Eisenhower keeps with his policy of party support because he
believes that local sections of the country know the man they want
for Congress and that if the sections vote for a man, then Eisenhower
will back him with his support.
The actual winner of the election will be determined by which
candidate carries the most electoral votes. The Democrats are usually
assured of 152 electoral votes in the Solid South although at present
General Eisenhower has a chance of gaining the Louisiana and Texas
votes because of his positive stand for the states, concerning the owner-ship
of the tidelands and because of the Southern revolt against Tru-man.
He may also get the vote of Florida which would mean 44
electoral votes taken away from Governor Stevenson. Other important
states will be California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York.
L9-at oa at a ealeoutali The Republicans hope to carry California on the strength of its
being the home state of the vice presidential candidate, Richard Nixon,
and because of the full support given by Governor Earl Warren.
Illinois, it is generally accepted, will go to the Democratic party.
Pennsylvania, so far, is strong in Eisenhower's support. New York,
which carries 45 electoral votes, is still very doubtful in the eyes
of voting analysts. Governor Dewey has strong Republican forces in
upstate New York but the Democrats are strong in the metropolitan
November 3-7—Deeper Life Week districts. The remaining task that the two candidates now face is to
travel to the different parts of the country in order to strengthen
their support where they have a chance to win electoral votes.

A very advantageous offer for Bethelites to obtain tickets to
the Minneapolis Symphony Series at a reduced rate has been ex-tended
by the administration. Mildred Bisgrove, the assistant pro-fessor
of music will handle eight tickets a week. She emphasized
that the seats were good. They are located two-thirds of the way
down on the left side of Northrup auditorium and are regularly
$3.50 seats. The reduced rate to students through the school is $1.50.
Veteran's Corner
Q. I am a World War II veteran,
and I am entitled to a GI loan,
although I never used this
benefit. I returned to active
duty, and as a result of my
recent service, I meet eligibili-ty
requirements for a GI loan
under the new Korean GI Bill.
Will I be able to get two GI
loan entitlements, as a result?
A. No. World War II veterans
who reentered service since
Korea will have their unused
loan entitlement under the
World War II Bill cancelled
after their discharge and will
have it replaced with new en-titlement
under the Korean GI
Bill. In your case, you will
have 10 years from the end of
the present emergency to ap-ply
for a GI loan—rather than
July 25, 1957, the World War
II deadline for loans.
Q. May I attend a foreign school
under the new Korean GI Bill?
A. Yes, so long as you meet the
eligibility requirements of the
new law, and so long as the
school is an approved institu-tion
of higher learning. VA
has the right to deny or dis-continue
a veteran's foreign
training, if it finds that the
training "is not for the best
interest of the veteran or the
Government.
Q. How much can a veteran bor-row
on his permanent National
Service Life Insurance policy?
Also, what's the annual inter-est
charged on such loans?
A. A veteran may borrow up to
94 percent of the reserve value
of his policy if the policy has
been in force for a year or
more. The interest rate is four
percent per year.
O. I'm planning to convert my
NSLI term policy to permanent
endowment insurance. If I'm
still living at the end of the
endowment period, how will I
receive my money?
A. You will have a choice. You
may either get the insurance
proceeds in a lump sum, or you
may ask VA to pay them to
you in equal monthly install-ments
ranging in number from
36 to 240. If you die before
all the installments have been
paid to you, the remainder will
go to your beneficiary, if you
have named one.
Q. I know of a World War II vet-eran
who has become incompe-tent.
Can his GI insurance pre-miums
be paid by another per-son?
A. Yes. The premiums may be
paid by any person on his be-half.
If the veteran's premium
return envelope isn't used, care
should be taken to identify
the payment properly, includ-ing
the insured veteran's full
name, address, date of birth,
service serial number and in-surance
number.

Selective Service Test
Deadline Announced
According to Selective Service officials the deadline for submitting
applications for the December 4 Selective Service College Qualification
Test is midnight November 1 (Saturday), and applications postmarked
after that time cannot be considered. The college dean's office has an
adequate supply of test application blanks on hand for draft-eligible
students.
Students are to mail their com-pleted
applications to Educational
Testing Service of Princeton, New
Jersey.
To be eligible to apply for the
college deferment test a student
must (1) intend to request defer-ment
as a student, (2) be satisfac-torily
pursuing a full-time course
of instruction; and (3) must not
have previously taken the Selective
Service College Qualification Test.
Another test will be held April
23, 1953 but General Hershey em-phasized
that increasing manpower
demands make it important that
each draft-eligible student who has
not taken the test do so as soon
as possible.
The present criteria for defer-ment
as an undergraduate student
are either a satisfactory score (70)
on the Selective Service College
Qualification Test or specified rank
in class (upper half of the male
freshman class, upper two - thirds
of the male sophomore class, or
upper three-fourths of the male
junior class).

At last Thursday's college chapel (a week ago) students got first
hand the experiences of what three Bethel faculty members included
as extra-curriculars in their stndent days. The Student council spon-sored
affair featured Dr. Virginia Lowell Grabill, chairman of the
Department of English, Dr. W. Robert Smith, visiting professor of
philosophy, and Elving Anderson, assistant professor of zoology, on a
panel discussing the topic, "What part should extra curricular activities
play in the life of the Bethel student?" "What did I do?" was the
thought of each speaker as they discussed the topic in its three areas:
Extra-curriculars on campus; Extra-Curriculars off campus; and the
Social aspect - dating.
__Most broadening to her experience were, Dr. Grabill said, debating,
teaching a Sunday school class, informal discussions, and hearing good
speakers and concerts. In summary, she advised the students to save
up time and money for attending events that are bigger and of more
value—such as outstanding concerts—where real enjoyment could be
had on a date or otherwise.
"Get as many wholesome experiences in life as you can," was the
summary of Dr. Smith's advice to the students. He encouraged the stu-dents
to "Learn everything about one thing and something about every
thing." He urged the students to attend stndent concerts, participate
in campus musical groups, and to attend speeches and concerts, al-ways
trying to develope the aesthetic nature.
"Don't be afraid to try something new" was Elving Anderson's
challenge to the students. To broaden their experiences Mr. Anderson
suggested they attend certain university activities such as concerts by
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra or films by the Museum of Natural
History. On dating, Mr. Anderson was quick to tell the fellows not to
think that a girl had to meet all his qualifications for marriage before
he had a date. "Date for the fun and fellowship and social experience
in it," he emphasized.
This panel discussion was the first of several to be presented by
faculty - student committees in the future on campus and student prob-lems.

Nik Dag Secrets
by Martha Witherow
From dark shadows, through open transome, behind locked doors,
through mysterious key holes, the secret of the campus has finally
been revealed. What to expect on the eventful night of November 1
has been finally disclosed. Now for the first time students will know a
little of what is awaiting them.
Need Baiciv Baciiv--Bad.weit
Dear Editor:
I just went outside for a breath of fresh air and found that Uncle
Harry was in town. He gave the word and iterated that there are no
silverfish in the government. It's just another Red herring, or lutefisk,
or some fiskbullar. Most of the silverfish are in the trouser's of the
opposition party's nominee. Otherwise, why should he be shifting posi-tions
so often? I understand that Smorgie has accused me of slinging
mud. Whoever heard of a bookworm leaving a dry book to slobber in
slime. Conversely, is not a puddled muddle, or muddled puddle the
habitat of silverfish? Smorgie's been wallowing around in mud so
long that his antennae are covered with dirt and he's getting static on
his receptors. To succumb to common vernacular, "his tail is dragging."
This must certainly substantiate my contention that the bookworms are
the upright intellectuals while the silverfish are life on the lowest plane.

Royal Riteup
B. S. Degree Needed
To Attract Athletes
by Gene Messenger
With the Hamline game now on record the question of whether
or not Bethel would be capable of providing adequate competition
in the Minnesota Collegiate conference has come to the front more
than ever.
The Bethel squadron that went down fighting last week-end is per-haps
the best aggregation of football players Bethel has ever had. How-ever,
despite the fine showing the Royals displayed last Friday night
it is evident that under our present system we would have difficulty
holding our own in the league.
Our expanding athletic program has been a definite attraction for
high school athletes, yet many of our best athletes interested in Bethel
turn their applications in other directions because of the absence of a
B.S. degree in physical educaion. Most of the outstanding athletes in
our high schools are interested in coaching and attend colleges and
universities where they can attain their degree in their chosen field.
With the possibility of the B.S. degree being added to Bethel's
curriculum in the near future many of those athletes interested in a
college with a spiritual emphasis will apply for admission to our school.
The question then arises—Is not this an over-emphasis on sports
so characteristic of many of our larger schools today? I siloitat" think
This feature will not be a means of just getting better athletes for
our teams but will afford those interested in Bethel's sandard an
opporunity to get an education for their chosen vocation.
Returning to the game of last Friday night it can, in certain ways,
be considered a victory for the Royals, even though they were on the
short end of the score.
It was a definite moral victory for the Blue and Gold and proved
the little quirk written on he blackboard by one of the Bethel players
before the game, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size
of the fight in the dog."
